Igel H860C Firmware 

BIOS

The IGEL H860C has a InsydeH20 BIOS. From the dmesg output I see:

efi: EFI v2.70 by INSYDE Corp.
....
DMI: IGEL Technology GmbH H860C/H860C, BIOS H860C V:3.2.13A-12182020 12/18/2020

Hit the DEL key to interrupt the normal boot sequence.

This takes you into the BIOS via an intermediate screen labelled Front Page. This presents you with 5 options:

Continue
►Boot Manager
►Device Management
►Boot From File
►Setup Utility

These are self evident.

  • Continue carries on normally.
  • Boot Manager lets you select your boot device from the possibilities located by the BIOS
  • Device Management doesn't do anything.
  • Boot From File lets you navigate the file system on your boot media and select the file you wish to boot.
  • Setup Utility takes you into the BIOS proper.

In the Setup Utility there are a limited number of options under the usual pages of

  • Main Set date and time.
  • Advanced Numlock state on boot; Enable/Disable audio and eMMC config.
  • Security Secure Boot enable/disable stuff; BIOS password.
  • Power various wake-up options.
  • Boot LAN/PXE/USB boot enable/disable.
  • Exit

Booting

This is a UEFI BIOS. There is no option for legacy booting.
